Walking Trails @ CDC: How to Earn RedeemSG Vouchers by Walking

How it actually works

The five Community Development Councils run it with GovTech. You pick a trail, walk it, and at each of five checkpoints you complete a task on your phone, either photographing a landmark or answering a trivia question about the area. Five badges finishes the trail and releases the voucher. The tasks are light. The walking is the actual activity, which is the point. Vouchers are RedeemSG and spend at most major supermarkets, FairPrice, Giant, Cold Storage, Prime, HAO mart, Ustars and Sheng Siong. If you like this sort of free-but-real thing, our free events roundup is the same energy.

Signing up, step by step

Go to crowdtask.gov.sg, create an account with Singpass, then tap Join Quest under the Walking Trails @ CDC banner and pick your trail. You need to be a Singapore Citizen or PR aged 15 and above with both a Singpass and a CrowdTaskSG account. Do the signup at home on wifi rather than standing at the first checkpoint, because Singpass login on a weak signal in a park is its own small tragedy.

Is it worth doing

$5 a trail is not going to change your month, and if you value your time at anything it does not pay. But it is a decent reason to walk a part of Singapore you would otherwise never walk, and the trails are built around neighbourhood stories rather than just distance. Do it on a cool morning, not at 2pm. Rewards are while stocks last, so check the trail is still live on CrowdTaskSG before you plan a whole Saturday around it.
